About this ebook

'Readers are sure to find themselves captivated by the strength and determination of Anna Milburn in The Thorn of Truth.' - Lauren Brandenburg, award-winning author of The Death of Mungo Blackwell and The Marriage of Innis Wilkinson

'An endearing tale of how life does not always go according to plan. S.L. Russell reminds us why it is always important to do the right thing, despite the risk and the cost...' - Les Cowan, author of the David Hidalgo mystery series

It was the worst bind, and I felt panic rising up inside me, threatening to steal my breath.

Anna Milburn has been a working barrister for twenty years. But when a local drug lord is implicated in the murder of a young policeman, the case shakes her very foundations and threatens what she holds most dear… her only child.

A thought-provoking and compassionate story that builds from a murder case, yet at its heart centres around the consequences of decisions made in trying times.
